Benefits of technology
The patent is about an electrical contact that is designed to connect with another complementary contact. The contact has two parts: a mounting portion that connects to a substrate, and a mating portion that extends forward. The mating portion has two contact blades that can press against each other in a perpendicular direction. The contact also has an intermediate portion that transmits electrical current between the mating portion and the mounting portion. The patent explains that the mating orientation of the contacts allows for sliding of the contact blades along each other, which results in a more secure connection. The technical effect of this design is to provide a reliable electrical connection that can withstand high levels of current, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Problems solved by technology
Thus, power connectors can be difficult to reduce in size without reducing heat dissipation capabilities.
Further, power connectors often provide minimal flexibility to comply with mating and mounting tolerances.

A power connector can include a dielectric connector housing and electrical contacts that are supported by the housing. The electrical contacts can each include first and second contact bodies. The first contact body can include a first contact blade and the second contact body can include a second contact blade that can define a mating portion of the electrical contact. The mating portion can be configured to mate with a complementary power connector along a mating direction so as to establish an electrical connection between the power connector and the complementary power connector. The contact blades can be configured slide with respect to each other along the mating direction.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT / US2014 / 025437, filed Mar. 13, 2014, which claims the benefit of U.S. application No. 61 / 784,506, filed Mar. 14, 2013, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND[0002]Electrical connectors and contacts often are designed in light of competing interests. For instance, an increase in power transmission capabilities can compete with dimensional constraints and undesirable heat buildup. Thus, power connectors can be difficult to reduce in size without reducing heat dissipation capabilities. Further, power connectors often provide minimal flexibility to comply with mating and mounting tolerances.SUMMARY[0003]In accordance with one embodiment, an electrical contact is configured to mate with a complementary electrical contact along a first direction. The electrical contact can include a mounting portion configured to elec...
